A break in weather has allowed the search by air to continue.
One helicopter will continue searching for the group of missing mountaineers over Garibaldi Provincial Park until late on Wednesday.
Squamish SAR manager B.J. Chute says the weather continues to hinder search efforts and “very little” was seen from the air Wednesday afternoon. Chute says conditions are still too dangerous to send in SAR members by foot. “It’s wet. It’s windy.” “The search will continue until we have a reason to stand it down,” says. “We’re working with the family, working with the RCMP and we’ll continue searching until we find these people.”“Once the weather does clear, becomes cooperative, we’ll be in the air as soon as we can.”Police have not released the identities of the three mountaineers. The families of the missing are in Squamish and are asking for privacy. They have been flown over the search area in a helicopter.
A family member contacted police after the group did not return on Friday. Their last known location is believed to be Atwell Peak.
